“Ye Wanwan didn’t have time to pay attention to the discussions of the people around her. Swiftly, she took the freshly baked honor points and went to find the old dean.
With a ‘bang,’ Ye Wanwan pushed the door open.
The old dean seemed to have known in advance that she would come, and he was already waiting there.
Ye Wanwan sat down in the chair in front of the desk, saying, ‘Dean, I’ve accumulated enough honor points.’
‘Not bad, not bad. You truly are an outstanding young talent!’ The old dean seemed to be in a good mood, his face flushed.
Ye Wanwan said with a smile, ‘Dear Dean, look, this time I managed to retrieve the school monument of the Scarlet Flame Mercenary Academy. With such a significant contribution, would you consider giving me another hypnosis session?’
‘You cunning little fox, you’re quite confident. Agreeing to help you with hypnosis was already a special case. Fifty thousand honor points for once, not a single point less. Consider this a reward for my deep affection towards you.’ The old dean stroked his beard.
Ye Wanwan bit her lip, feeling speechless. This old fox was shameless, even more so than her. He knew she was eager to regain her memories, so he was practically exploiting her to complete more tasks!
The old dean said, ‘If you’re ready, let’s begin.’
Without much hesitation, Ye Wanwan lay down on the couch eagerly and said, ‘Let’s start.’
The old dean proceeded to hypnotize her as he usually did.
Ye Wanwan closed her eyes, and the world gradually turned dark.
She felt like she was traversing through a long corridor of time. After an unknown period, her field of vision suddenly expanded, and countless lights emerged.

In the scene, a group of people gathered for a dinner. Ye Wanwan recognized many familiar faces—members of the Fearless Alliance.
‘Leader, take a look. This is my grandson, Fu Mingxi. He might not excel in other areas, but he has a decent appearance and is obedient. He should catch your eye, Leader!’ The speaker appeared to be the Second Elder based on his appearance.
‘Your grandson?’
‘Yes, yes, Leader, what do you think?’
Ye Wanwan absentmindedly took the photo and glanced at it, her expression slightly frozen.
Indeed, Fu Mingxi had a good appearance, but after all these years of traveling and experiencing various beauties, she paid attention to something else. There was a slight resemblance between Fu Mingxi’s features and someone she knew.
Though it was a very subtle similarity, it momentarily bewildered her.
Seeing a glimmer of hope, the Second Elder quickly continued, ‘If you’re not opposed, once he completes his studies, you can let him follow you, Leader! After all, he knows his roots and character. You can trust him completely!’
‘Alright!’
The Second Elder was overjoyed, saying, ‘Great! So, Leader, this marriage is settled!’
The memory progressed to this point…
Mid-hypnosis, Ye Wanwan felt an inexplicable urge to vomit blood.
Why, out of all things, did she recall this embarrassing history during her rare third hypnosis session?
The matter with Fu Mingxi was indeed something she had genuinely agreed to, even though she said it while drunk.
It’s really a case of making one’s own troubles…
She wished she could just forget this episode. She didn’t want to remember it.
Simultaneously, she noticed that she seemed to be immersed in her feelings from that time. While talking to the Second Elder, she felt completely detached, as if she couldn’t muster any enthusiasm…
She surmised that shortly before this conversation, she had been rejected by Ji Xiuran, and her heart was still struggling to let go. That’s likely why she was momentarily distracted by the slight resemblance between Fu Mingxi and Ji Xiuran.
